So with lighter loads in some cars, and you make the assumption every driver with lighter loads in the center went "ahhh nice, car is not jammed up, ill work slower?"
Having never driven before?
You know what they say about assuming..
You are correct, it does sound like I am stating an assumed fact. I withdraw it. So consider it not something I feel I know is true, consider it one proposed theory.
If you have another for a group of drivers having fewer average stops and fewer piece counts yet coming in on average in the same amount of time I would like to hear it. Weather and road conditions were the same, so it was not that. Stop distribution was also almost identical, just spread among over more routes.
As an added piece of data, misload numbers where nearly identical. In fact, as I recall, there were fewer misloads on the day routes were added.
BTW, re-reading it also looks like I am saying drivers with lesser work loads are making a conscious decision to work slower. While I believe my theory to be valid, I do not think the lesser performance with less work is a conscious thing. I believe it to be more subconscious. And While I have not been a driver, I have been on many, many rides over multiple days, and seen the change in a driver from a day when the car is light and when it is bricked out. Most drivers I have ridden with tend to be stressed and push themselves harder and faster with heavier loads in an effor to get through it all. That has been my experience...
